520    "Siku has always called the Zambezi River her home. She 
       understands the water--and strangely enough, it seems to 
       understand her, too, bending to her will and coming to her
       aid in times of need. But things are changing on the river
       --a great dam is being built, displacing thousands of 
       Shonga people--and things are changing in Siku, too, as 
       her ability to manipulate water grows out of control, and 
       visions of a great serpent pull her further from reality 
       and her loving father, Tongai. When Tongai ventures to the
       Kariba Dam to find a cure for Siku and never returns, she 
       sets off to find him with the help of Amedeo, the young 
       son of Kariba's chief engineer. Together, they traverse 
       elephant graveyards, rugged jungles, and ancient ruins, 
       outrunning pirates, bootleggers, and shape-shifting 
       prophets ready to use Siku to their own advantage. But 
       Siku soon discovers that her father has been shielding a 
       terrible secret: Siku is actually the daughter of the 
       Great River Spirit, Nyaminyami, and the only way to bring 
       about the necessary rumuko--a ritual which has brought 
       balance to the Zambezi for centuries--is for Siku to give 
       up the only life she's ever known. With the future of the 
       Shonga resting on her shoulders, Siku must journey to the 
       source of the river to understand the ancient power hidden
       within her"--|cProvided by publisher.
